  • Who Were Tribal People? Contemporary Historians and Travellers Give Very Scanty Information About Tribes
    TRIBES, NOMADS AND 7 SETTLED COMMUNITIES ou saw in Chapters 2, 3 and 4 how kingdoms Yrose and fell. Even as this was happening, new arts, crafts and production activities flourished in towns and villages. Over the centuries important Fig. 1 political, social and economic developments had Tribal dance, taken place. But social change was not Santal painted scroll. the same everywhere, because different kinds of societies evolved differently. It is important to understand how, and why, this happened. In large parts of the subcontinent, society was already divided according to the rules of varna. These rules, as prescribed by the Brahmanas, were accepted by the rulers of large kingdoms. The difference between the high and low, and between the rich and poor, increased. Under the Delhi Sultans and the Mughals, this hierarchy between social classes grew further. Beyond Big Cities: Tribal Societies There were, however, other kinds of societies as well. Many societies in the subcontinent did not follow the social rules and rituals prescribed by the Brahmanas. Nor were they divided into numerous unequal classes. Such societies are often called tribes. TRIBES, NOMADS AND 91 SETTLED COMMUNITIES 2021-22 Members of each tribe were united by kinship bonds. Many tribes obtained their livelihood from agriculture. Others were hunter-gatherers or herders. Most often they combined these activities to make full use of the natural resources of the area in which they lived. Some tribes were nomadic and moved from one place to another. A tribal group controlled land and pastures jointly, and divided these amongst households ? according to its own rules.

Raja Reddi and Urmila Pingle in memory of our journeys in tribal country Preface ― xi ― This book tells of observations among Indian tribal populations spanning the period from 1940 to 1980. Ever since 1936, when a study of the Konyak Nagas marked the beginning of my career as an anthropological field-worker, I have maintained contacts with Indian tribesmen. True, there were years when I concentrated on the study of the mountain peoples of Nepal, but even then I paid periodic visits to some of the tribal areas of India, and this enabled me to keep abreast of current developments. When in 1976 I retired from the Chair of Asian Anthropology at the University of London and could devote more time to fieldwork, I decided to undertake a systematic investigation of social and economic changes affecting the tribal societies which I had studied in the 1940s. A grant from the Social Science Research Council of Great Britain, as well as subsidiary awards from the Leverhulme Trust Fund and the Wenner-Gren Foundation for Anthropological Research, provided the material basis for this project, which included also the funding of parallel research by my young colleague Dr.

  • The Politics of the Urban Poor in Early Twentieth-Century India - Nandini Gooptu Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521443660 - The Politics of the Urban Poor in Early Twentieth-Century India - Nandini Gooptu Frontmatter More information The Politics of the Urban Poor in Early Twentieth-Century India In an area which has previously been neglected by the scholarly literature, Nandini Gooptu's magisterial history of the labouring poor in urban India represents a tour de force. By focusing on the role of the urban poor in caste, religious and nationalist politics, the author demonstrates how they emerged as a major social and political factor in South Asia during the interwar period. She explores their central importance in the economy through a discussion of the patterns of urbanisation, migration and employment and the development of a casual, `informal' labour market. The empirical material, drawn from towns in Uttar Pradesh, provides compelling insights into what it meant to be poor in the urban environment: the insecurity and exploitation of the workplace; the problems of ®nding housing and the lack of access to the basic amenities of life; harassment and coercion by the police; and social and political exclusion by the elite, who regarded the impoverished with suspicion as undesirable and potentially dangerous. The author illuminates the processes of cultural transfor- mation among the poor and their construction of social identities by concentrating on their modes of political action and perceptions. In this way, she takes issue with current interpretations of sectarian and nationalist politics that argue the salience of community identity and the irrelevance of class in political analysis. The book will be of interest to all those concerned with urban social history and with the comparative history and politics of poverty, labour and class relations, ethnic and sectarian con¯ict, and nationalist movements.

The story ahead We will now see how the emperors of the Mughal Dynasty (mauga,la vaMSa), who originally came from Afghanistan (Afga,ainastana), built a huge empire. Beginning in 1526, it lasted more than two centuries. The Mughals became one of the most important dynasties of the subcontinent. The splendour and luxury of the courts, the policies of the emperors, and the systems of administration and taxation that the Mughals established have had a deep impact. You will read about all this in the following chapters. You will also read about how European traders came in the 17th century, and how this led to the establishment of British rule. For almost 200 years large parts of the Indian subcontinent were ruled by the British. The policies of the British rulers made very big changes in the lives of the people of India. During this period peasants, workers, adivasis, traders, and educated people of India struggled for a long time to free the country from British rule.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT The research upon this thesis is based was carried out from October 1973 to March 1975, and from January to March 1980, in the village of Singhara (a pseudonym), Jabalpur District, Madhya Pradesh state (see map 1., p.viii). Although situated in middle India, Singhara1s culture and social morphology are.fairly typical of north India. This is mainly because the villagers, with the significant exception of its tribal (Gond) population (the original inhabitants of the region), are all descended from immigrants who came into the area from the north in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. The thesis has two parts: 1) an examination of traditional caste values (chapters 3-7) and 2) a description and discussion of aspects of the modern political and economic life of the village (chapters 2, 8 and part of chapter 1).
